Nice. I upgraded to a D7100 from a D3200 about 4 weeks ago. It's a great camera. Still getting used to all the extra functionality and setting it up just the way I want it. Happy shooting.
MLB.tv Premium so I can watch my Tigers.

It's been an expensive day

I couldn't help but notice that there is absolutely no benefit in getting a Time Capsule if you're already TimeMachining it like Doc Brown in November, nor is there any benefit in an AirPort Extreme over any other router whatsoever, either.
So I got myself a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 to replace an older Time Capsule, extended by a Linksys router.
It looks like a freakin' stealth bomber:
And it lives up to that, too.
You plug it in, and that's all the setup required. In places where I had flaky reception which required some gymnastics to load webpages, this thing gives you three bars of glory – without a repeater. It even gave me two bars in the most remote spaces that didn't have any coverage before at all.
Great router – literally. It's huge. But it works fantastically.

While it may look like something that was taken out of some storage room at an US Army base:
It delivers.

But how is the software? My net gear can't even block internet acces for people who are on the network...
Sure, why not.
or Live Parenting Controls.
or depending on your definition of "internet access", the iPhone app would do that with a toggle press, too:

Stopping the use of disposable water bottles in our family:
Bought one of each and some extra filters.
Also, because Spring is upon us...6 months for each of my dogs
In addition...some new pants for my growing waistline

Bought this yesterday and I'm liking it so far. Now I'm contemplating Battlefield 4 or Call of Duty Ghosts.
*edit*
Ended up buying Battlefield 4. Used my powerup points put it towards a $25 off coupon. I'll get COD eventually just to satisfy the itch to play. I've played all of them and I told myself I wouldn't be buying the next installment but ended up buying it anyway
Amazon has CoD on sale for $40, decisions decisions.

Picked up this bad boy this morning, about time since I've been looking at it for a while and the 'warm' weather finally came. Plus I received two free rounds at Yarrow, and when I purchase the 21 Hybrid I'll receive a free night at Treetops and two free rounds. Love it.
Picked this baby up for $70, "non functioning." As you can see, it's in pretty rough shape, but aesthetics aren't everything. It needs a new video card or it won't boot, but I've got a spare Radeon 2600 XT from my 3,1 upgrade. It's going to work in a recording studio, hopefully getting 11GB of RAM and Dual X5355 Xeons, if my work wants to pay for the upgrades.
It currently stands at: 2 x Dual Core Xeon 2.66Ghz, a beyond broken Geforce 7300 GT, an unused WD Caviar Blue 500GB drive that I'm probably going to take for myself, and either 2 or 3 GB of RAM, I'm yet to determine whether all four sticks function yet.

ghosts is absolutely terrible, do not get it.
This beauty:
Sony NEX-5T, comes with the 16-50mm Powerzoom
This little prima lens to go with it (with a adapter to connect it to the NEX):
Yashica 50mm f/1.7
This remote:
+ a couple extension tubes for some macro photography.
So yeah, I'm ready to take some photos.

the only good thing about it is that its new and that is it. maps are too big, and it gets old fast. i actually wrote a paper in my english class last semester bashing it.
I was tempted to buy it. But I really don't want to pay for the "new" price since I got my Xbox recently and the game came out last year. I've read the reviews, watched some videos and heard from my friends and still want to play the game.
Hopefully, I can get it on the cheap from somewhere or maybe borrow it.
